a. True

b. False

The answer is b. False.

A Naturalistic Study is defined to be a type of study in which the researcher very carefully observes and records some behavior or phenomenon, sometimes over a prolonged period, in its natural setting while interfering as little as possible with the subjects or phenomena. There is no manipulation done, so it does not give reliable understanding of an individual.
